I agree with @Gavin that as a non-native and potentially harmful one to the native species gig them all if needed. I don't see them any differently than I do lionfish.

I was reading a similar article from I think Colorado?  About invasive smallmouth bass.  Hey they are trying to a special status species from a non protected one.  Heck they can probably get special federal funding for it.

That's in Oregon, and the bass are non-native. It's their river, and they can manage it how they want. A wild Chinook (King) Salmon is a pretty special and endangered fish, and if killing non-native smallmouth bass helps them out, so be it.  

Kinda how I feel about trout in Missouri streams and rivers. Clean them out….oh you stock them in there??? Oh okay lol
